DESIGN TASK:
You are to research, design and build a ball sorter and then you
will evaluate your work.
* Reminder:
There shall be evidences of you working
on the
artefact and
e-portfolio in every step of every
process.
Design
Brief:
Design, make and
fit a simple device that will sort table tennis balls and marbles. From an
elevated bin, the balls and marbles should travel a lane or chute down to
another container
a.
The container or compartment should have two partitions: one for the table
tennis balls and the other for the marbles
b.
Along
the lane or chute, the balls and marbles should be able to sort until it reaches
the compartment intended for each of them
c.
The artefact
should be made of cardboard, illustration board or chipboard
d.
Containers(bin
and compartment)should not exceed twenty (20) centimetres in length, width and
height
e.
Length
of the lane or chute varies depending on the design
CONSTRAINTS AND CONSIDERATIONS:
The Design Brief contains lots of information.
To workout what you have to include in your design make a list
of the Constraints and Considerations from the design brief in the table below.
When you have filled in your constraints and considerations list number them in
order of importance.

I. INVESTIGATION
RESEARCH:
Find
some visual examples of ball sorter and assembly techniques and other
decorative or construction features that may help you with your design.
Find
some pictures on the internet and post them in your e-portfolio. Annotate your
pictures explaining in words what you like or don’t like about the designs. An
example has been provided below.
----------------------------------------------------
List
the resources you have used: e.g. websites or books at the end of your research
pages

BRAIN STORMING DESIGN IDEAS:
On
the next pages of your e-portfolio, post some ideas for your design. The
drawings should be quick freehand sketches and may be whole or parts of the
product.
They
need to be in pencil and be very basic drawings.
PREFERRED
OPTION:
Choose
the better of your designs, post it and explain why it is the best option and
how it satisfies the requirements of the design brief.
II. DESIGNING
WORKING DRAWING:
Show the top, front and
side view
Please
use pencil and include measurements or post a link if you’re using AutoCAD or
Google Sketch Up
Complete
a 3D drawing of your design here (isometric or perspective):

EVALUATION
• Think about the
outcome
• Does it meet the Design
Brief?
• Does it satisfy the Evaluation Criteria?
• How well does it work?
• Could it be improved?
• What remains to be done?
Prepare reports on the
outcomes;
Have the
artefact ready to be presented
